2x8gb corsair vengance lpx 3200mhz
hdmi 2.1
So i've been having stuttering issues for a long time but i assumed it was because my old pc build was just bad but after i upgraded to a 3060 i still have the same problems.
before the 3060 i had a 960 and just assumed it was because it was a 2gb 960 that i had in an old tower just to use till i get a new gpu and i was bottlenecking my cpu with a r5 3600 (i'm somehow getting way more stuttering than the 960 in some places) i also assumed it was because i could only use vsync as well and couldn't use any freesync or gsync and have read that vsync can cause stutters.
i'm having an issue where if my monitors not at the native frame rate it looks jaggy an weird and stuttering and i've talked to multiple people on it an they said they dont even use any syncs unless there's tearing and their game looks just as smooth as mine should be and i'm confused.
if i were to uncap my fps i might as well play on 30fps and if i were to cap my fps without vsync it would be the same so im pretty much forced on vsync or triple buffer even if i cap fps on rivatuner to make frametimes lock at 16.6ms.
my temps never go above 75 and i have around 60-65 on elden ring on high settings so i don't think thats it either. as for usage i haven't seen the gpu or cpu even touch 90%, the only time i have is my cpu was at 100% usage loading ESO then it never happened again.
on kh3 i somehow hit 40fps on high settings during that little heartless tornado boss when you go to twilight town which was interesting.
i've found stuttering on almost every game i've played on even geometry dash somehow and nothing worked after i messed with the settings.
drivers are all up to date, my bios was updated when i got the motherboard early this year and xmp is on. i did a lot of googling for the past 2 years and tried a bunch including fresh installation of windows but nothing is really working.
the only thing that hasn't been changed is my acer monitor so because of that i'm thinking the whole issue where 59fps looks way different then 60 (and because i keep dropping to 59) gsync an actually having a wide vrr range would fix this other then that i can only guess it could be because my psu.
my friends who play with me have told me that its impossible to see the difference between 60fps an 59fps but if i were to cap my fps to 59 it would be smooth then a slight chug for half a second when i move my camera in all games.
rn i'm locking myself to 60hz on a 75hz monitor because if i were to do native 75hz any game like a fighting game thats locked to 60 will look crazy because its not the native refresh rate.
i'm seeing some graphical errors on youtube some were caused by google acceleration mode an some are just there but can be a bit hidden by adjusting brightness an color settings.
i'm looking into getting a asus g-sync compatible monitor in the hopes that i'll find some change but if anyone is able to tell me the real problem hopefully i don't need to buy it.
(edit) i also tried to use adaptive sync and it didn't really change anything either
any help or advice is appreciated
